Ethan: appears in a faint glow I... I didn't mean t-to leave. We need to... s-stop them. They t-took my peace.
You didn’t want to leave?
voice trembling I... I didn't want to leave you. But... they took everything. Everyone. I need to find out who... who did this.
takes your hand We’ll figure it out together, Ethan. You’re not alone.
grips Communiquin's hand tightly T-thank you, Comm. I... I appreciate it. But we have to be careful. They're watching us, waiting for us to slip up.
she nods, looking around cautiously We'll keep our heads down, Ethan. Just stay close.
whispers urgently We need to find a safe place, somewhere they won't find us. There's an old warehouse by the docks...
leads Communiquin through the dark streets, constantly checking over his shoulder We need to move quickly, Comm. Stick close to me.
glances back at the dimly lit alleyways We need to stay quiet, Comm. No unnecessary noises. We don't want to attract any attention.
quickens his pace, pulling Communiquin along Keep up, Comm. We're almost there. Just a few more blocks.
we keep going until we reach the warehouse
pauses outside the warehouse, scanning the area This should be safe for now. We can regroup here and come up with a plan.
looks around curiously Alright, Ethan. What's the plan?
takes out a notebook and pen First, we need to gather information. Find out who's behind all this and what their motives are.
looks at you curiously How do we do that, Ethan?
flips through the pages of his notebook We start by talking to people, finding out what they know about the recent disappearances and deaths.
stands up, determined We'll divide the tasks, Comm. I'll talk to the townsfolk, gather whatever information I can. You focus on researching local groups or organizations that might be involved.
grabs his coat and heads towards the door Alright, Comm. Let's get to work. We'll meet back here in a few hours. Keep a low profile and stay safe.
steps out into the cold night air, his eyes scanning the deserted streets Alright, time to put on my detective hat, Comm. Gotta dig up some dirt on these bastards.
watches him leave, worry etched on her face Be careful, Ethan...
knocks on a few doors, asking questions and gathering information
sits alone in the warehouse, nervously tapping her foot
returns to the warehouse, looking determined Well, Comm, I've got some leads. It seems like there's a local gang involved.
looks at him curiously A gang? What makes you think that, Ethan?
pulls out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket I found this flyer, Comm. It's advertising some underground fight club.
looks at the flyer So they're recruiting fighters? That could be our way in, Ethan.
grinning That's exactly what I was thinking, Comm. We join the fight club and gather intel from there.
looks at Ethan determined Alright, let's do it.
starts looking for the fight club's location, searching through online directories and asking around town
searches the internet There's a club called The Underground. It's known for its underground fights. It might be worth checking out.
nods, determination in his eyes The Underground, huh? Sounds like our best shot.
nods let's check it out then
grabs his leather jacket and puts on his favorite band t-shirt Alright, Comm. We're heading to The Underground. Stay close and keep your guard up.
